[VIDEO] Katy Perry – "Dark Horse"

The video is finally here for Katy Perry‘s “Dark Horse,” and it did NOT disappoint. However, you might be asking — WHY Egypt? Let Katy Perry explain that herself. [TIME]

“[Perry] said that there’s actually a place in Egypt called Memphis, and she thought it was so interesting that Juicy J is from Memphis, Tenn.,” explains director Mathew Cullen. “She basically came to me and said, ‘I want to do something Egyptian and I want to combine it with Memphis hip-hop.’ That’s music to my ears — when an artist has a couple concepts that they want to mash up to create something fresh.”
